Manufactured Home Insurance
Manufactured Home Insurance
Manufactured Home Insurance can help address risks faced by owners of manufactured homes. Depending on the situation, important exposures may include dwelling damage, personal property, liability, detached structures, weather, and specialized home construction.
Insurance options can vary considerably between companies. William Knight Insurance Agency can help clients in Tennessee compare available policies and review important differences in coverage, limits, deductibles, eligibility, and exclusions.
Why Is Manufactured Home Insurance Important?
Manufactured homes have construction and valuation characteristics that differ from site-built houses. The home's age, foundation, tie-downs, roof, updates, location, occupancy, and whether land is owned or rented can all affect insurance options.
The goal is not simply to purchase a policy with the lowest premium. It is to understand the exposures involved and select insurance that fits the individual, property, vehicle, or business as closely as possible.
Manufactured Home Insurance Coverage Options
The appropriate coverage depends on the specific situation. Options may include some of the following protections.
Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling coverage may help repair or replace the insured manufactured home after a covered loss, subject to policy valuation and limits.
Personal Property Coverage
Personal property coverage may help protect belongings such as furniture, clothing, and electronics against covered losses.
Other Structures Coverage
Detached garages, sheds, decks, or other qualifying structures may have separate coverage limits.
Loss of Use Coverage
Coverage may help with eligible additional living expenses if a covered loss makes the home temporarily uninhabitable.
Personal Liability Insurance
Liability coverage may help with certain covered claims alleging bodily injury or property damage.
